No one cared for her until she came

i am not old

The girls had continued talking to try and help ease and relax Lexie's worries and fears, basically all of them relating to her acting or being like her parents. This made leah realise just how much of an impact they had on her, the young girl was scared to be like her parents, she didn't want to be like them at all.

Lexie: "Guess what" she said breaking the calmed silence they had stayed in after the deep conversation they had just had

Leah: "What"

Lexie: "I ate an orange and half a slice of toast this morning, Fran helped me" she smiled slightly

Leah: "Lex that is so good, you did it" she smiled

Lexie: "It was hard though"

Leah: "It might be hard for a while but you did it Lex, you actually did it" she smiled

Lexie: "Fran has had an eating disorder before so she helped me a lot, she always has. Most of the girls can help when i get upset or angry about my family but Fran can help with my eating"

Leah: "That's very good lex, i'm so proud of you" she smiled at the young girl

Beth: "We heard someone wanted to see Myle" she announced walking into the footballers apartment

Leah: "I think that might have been us" she said back after seeing the younger girls face light up when she saw the little dog

Beth: "Hey girls" she said walking into the living room to see leah on the sofa and her dog receiving a lot of attention and hugs from the younger girl who had moved onto the floor with the dog

Leah: "Hey Beth thanks for coming" she smiled

Lexie: "Hi" she replied quietly in some way she was happy someone else was here, someone she knew but she didn't feel like being her usual bubbly self today not after all that had happened

Beth: "So how've you been"

Leah: "We've been okay, i think we are better than yesterday but myle with definitely help cheer us up" she said speaking for the younger girl realising she might not speak as much today

Lexie: "yes we are okay" she repeated quietly

Beth: "are you excited for tomorrow lex"

Lexie: "yeah i guess" she said

Beth: "Big 14 you'll soon be right old" she smiled

Lexie: "What like you" she said smiling slightly her cheeky self beginning to reappear

Beth: "I am not, old" she said shocked

Lexie: "Okay beffy" she smiled

Beth: "Leah's literally not much younger than me"

Leah: "Still younger" she smiled earning a groan from the woman

Beth: "Lex i'm sorry but i can't let you keep seeing Myle she's not gonna want to come home with me" she said looking at the pair cuddled together

Lexie: "Good she's mine" she smiled

Beth: "But-" she said before getting interrupted
